I'll start with saying that I have been with the pizza hut corperation for about six years now, most of these six years have been pretty much regular, I've seen alot of things in these six years and pretty much kept my mouth shut for "job security".. I actually like my job and what I do. It's honestly all I know. Theres so much I could put in type here but I would never finish as there are so many "issues".
I have a few "issues" that are current that I came here to adress. I have discussed my main "issue" with my current AGM (FAYE BARNES) to no avail. I feel very uncomfortable going any higher up the latter because I feel that everyone in this company is wearing the same profit sharing shoes. It seems to me that anyone above the assistant manager position in this company seems to be driven to sweep things under the carpet and "make them go away"!
What's brought me today is the fact that we have a regular shift leader who works our buffet, She works only a few hours a day (mostly buffet hours) and then leaves. During the time she is in our store she constantly finds new ways to steal MEGA bucks every shift she works. I personally make these buffets myself and I know how much I make and I also can tell you pretty much how many we sell each day. This manager steals on an avrage of $150 a day in one way of another. She thinks she's sneaky but she's not. Everyone in our store has at one time or another called this the AGM'S (Faye barnes) attention. Two weeks ago I witnessed (in plain view) Jenny Pannell count down the drawer (twice) and then stuff a large wad of cash into he pockets. Normally this wouldn't be anyhting new to me but this time it was before the store even opened. It has become oviouse to me that this is acceptable (and common practice) not only in our store but in most of the stores in our area. I still kept my mouth shut knowing it wouldn't make a difference anyways if I told. THe kicker is that the following morning (monday 8/14) the bank called to let us know that we were short $150 on their end (which was no surprise to me)... This absolutly infurated me! It's bad enough that you steal from NPC and make your money. But it's a whole different ballgame when it involves stealing money that your fellow co-workers are accountable for! I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer.
I went to my AGM (Faye Barnes) and told her what I had witnessed, I told her it wasn't right and it was really weighing in on me. What she told me was the most absurd thing I have ever in my life! Sh said she knew Jenny Panell was stealing from here and had been for a very long time. She just couldn't catch her! I CAUGHT HER I said. Thats not good enough she said.."I have to see her do it myself".. At this point i'm just flabbergasted I feel like telling her to let me and some friends run the register if thats how it is. She did absolutly nothing exept go back and tell Jenny Panell that I had accused her of taking $150 (which I have to suffer the reprecusions for because she IS my direct supervisor).
It's not even really the fact that the girl steals the money everyday. It's the fact that Me and other co-workers get bitched and critsized every week when the food comes up short (as much as $600 in raw food in a weeks time) we get accused of not using proper specs and so on. We are made to change dates and use things that are unedible to humans to make up for Jenny Pannell living large. We also have timecard issues if the labor dosn't meet the critera peoples hours start to disapear. Money out our pockets. Our shifts get cut because we "arn't busy enough When I know damned well we should have passed the mark for labor. When somone steals money on that level it affects everyone in the chain and it's just not right...
Just from reading alot of the posts on this site I am begining to see a very clear picture. Maybe my AGM does hire undereducated drug addicts and worthless slobs simply because she knows they will keep their mouths shut when the shit hits the fan. It's a sad day to know that even people like that can be unknowingly taken advantage of, and whatseven more sad to me is the fact that our store isn't 0 worthless slob drug addicts! We actually have a few decent HONEST people in our store that are bing taken advantage of. Simply because they stay with PIZZA HUT for job security.
For instance we have two regular waitresses on our floor, on one side we have an honest hardworking woman who refuses to take money in any form, She brings home apox. $30 in tips give or take a few. On the other side we have a waitress (who seems to be in cahoots with Jenny Panell) that makes it common knoledge that she "runs a regular sale" on her side of the dining room. She brings home apox. $70 to $100 or more in tips. While the server on the other side brings home 1/3 in the SAME dining room on the SAME shifts...
I could go on forever about dishonest things I see. But thats not my point here. I feel that I have the duty to presue this matter, it's gone on long enough and i'm up to my ears in BS. If there is any advise that could be offered I would much appreciate it. My plan is to make an apt. With the director of human resources first thing monday morning and blow the lid off of it. Should I take a poll? Will they get rid of me? Will they even care??? I'll post later in the week with the results
